    Question: What are the laws concerning jobs for 13-year olds?

    Answer: The Fair Labor Standards Act states that the minimum age for employment is 14 years old. A 14-year old that is a full-time student would be allowed to work in a retail establishment as long as the employer has obtained certifications from the Department of Labor. A business could be fined $10,000 for hiring someone under the age of 14. The age requirements for agricultural employment are slightly different.

    I agree on what these kids say. We have a right to work for money!!! Kids need their own money so that we can pay for things.  Some of us are tired of asking our parents for money.  Some of us struggle every day and every month watching our parents pay for the house and things around the house and we can't do a thing about it.  We have rights to work! We want to help our parents!
